MIDDLEBORO — The Middleboro Veterans' Services Department will host its fourth annual trip to the Paw Sox celebration of Armed Forces Day on Wednesday, June 25.

The proceeds from the Paw Sox game goes into an emergency fund to help out Midddleborough veterans and their dependants within the community.

The package deal will cost $35 per person this year and will cover the bus ride, a ticket for the game, and a bagged meal on the bus. This is open to any individual or organization interested in attending. There will also be a 50/50 raffle on the bus.

The pre-game activities start at 6:15 p.m., so the buses will be leaving Middleboro at 4 p.m. There will more than likely be a bus leaving from the Oak Point community and one from the Town Hall. Call Paul Provencher, the director of veterans' services, at 508-946-2407 or email him at pjpro2000@yahoo.com to make a reservation for this event. Leave a message on the voice mail on his phone if he is out of the office.

"This event has grown in popularity each year that we've held it and everyone that's attended has had a great time," said Mr. Provencher.
